About

Agate Beach County Park is a public ocean beach in Washington, about 10 miles from Friday Harbor. It's a simple, low-cost stop: restrooms are on site, swimming is allowed, and there is no fee to visit. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. July and August bring typical highs in the low 70s °F with lows around 50 °F and the fewest wet days of the year, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Friday Harbor's airport. Several hikes start close by. Iceberg Point is less than a mile away, and Marsh Trail and Hilltop Vista are each within about 3 miles. For an overnight, the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite at Spencer Spit State Park lies about 7 miles off.
